It's a marshmallow world in the winter...

when the snow comes to cover the ground...Welcome to the weekend friends... isn't it wonderful? It is for me because I have the day off this week, yeah! I'm sure I'll have plenty to keep me busy and then tonight I'm going out to a Christmas dinner with my work peeps... fun, fun, fun! So I made my card today with two challenges in mind... the Flutter By winter challenge and the All That Scraps snowflakes challenge. And I was really proud of myself, for once again getting a two-fer out of a card. But then I noticed that the ATS challenge has changed up its rules a bit and doesn't let you combine without being disqualified. Oops! Oh well, I really don't think I'm eligible to win anyway to I'm still entering this card into both. :)So let's see what all I've got going on here... well, I used the adorable Swiss Pixie Gretel from CC Designs and the only altering I did was add a couple stripes to her legs so I could color in funky tights that matched the striped paper. Oh and I also heat embossed the flourishes on the striped paper with clear Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel for a subtle 'blowing wind' effect. The rows of quirky little trees were hand cut from a sheet of pattern paper. Nothing mind blowing or super inventive technique wise but this card just makes me smile and isn't that what we all hope our cards do?Have a good one! :)Supply list:cardstock- cardstock warehouse, Bazzill and GPpaper- Sassafras Lass (Winter Wonder)stamps- CC Designs (Swiss Pixie Gretel) Gel-a-tins (Spiral Symphony)ink- Memento tuxedo black, Colorbox cream brown chalk ink, Versamark clear inkUltra Thick Embossing EnamelAutumn Leaves snowflake stickersMaking Memories Christmas Wordfetti stickerLiquid PearlsSakura clear embossing penCopic Spica clear glitter penCopicmultiliner 0.3 penCopic markers:skin- E50, YR00.

Hi Amy. There may not be any mind blowing...technics, but this is a SWEET card! I just had to smile when I looked at it. She is adorable, and I love the swirls. I have never done any heat embossing, so I am envious. I so need to give this a try, but it will have to wait until after new years(money, money..)lol..Have a great time with your peeps...Lisa
